Description: | Copper alloy possible Ring fragment. Cast segment from the inner circumference of a hollow ring of estimated external diameter 60mm. The external surface has a bright grey finish, perhaps from tin in the metal mix if not applied as a plating; the latter possibility arising from its apparent loss from the edges of the piece. This object was kindly allocated to the Bronze Age by Dr Kevin Leahy (in April 2011); it may be from a suite of horse gear. Suggested date: Late Bronze Age, 1000-800 BC.Length (as found): 31.4mm, Width: 11.5mm, Thickness: 1.2mm, Weight: 3.31gms.
